mp3 !! why wont it play on my computer?

[subez]

I have a disc that has music on it as mp3 was told i could play it on my computer but it wont. Why?

It's a data disk, not an audio disk, so when you put it in your CD drive it won't play automatically. (Your PC simply recognizes it as a collection of files, just the same as if it contained pictures).

Open the tracks in the same way that you'd open picture files. Double-click 'My Computer'. Double-click the icon for your CD drive. Double-click on the mp3 file you want to play.

Perversely, even though it's a data disk, if you put it into an mp3-compatible CD player, it should play as if it was an audio disk.

Try contacting the disc manufacturer.

Think there could be a problem with disc

Try putting the disc in a CD Burner drive rather than just a CD player drive if you have one,
This often happens if the disc has not been finalised to play in any drive.

Problem solved I've seen the chap who gave me the disc , apparently got wrong one this one plays in my dvd ok but not computer?!

Anyway got the right one now and all's well.
